To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The insolent victors took the most cruel advantage over the captive matron, Judea. The survivors of the bloody struggle were at the mercy of the Romans. And now they began to scatter broadcast over all parts of the inhabited globe. Vespasian converted the traditional yearly temple tax of the didrachma into a tribute to the Capitol of Rome, initiating the famous Jew tax that lasted, in its various modifications, more than seven- teen hundred years, as an emblem either of the longevity of the Jew...s or of undying prejudice. This tribute was levied alike on the eastern and western Jews. It seems, however, to have been abolished after Vespasian's death, because we are told that the Jewish patriarchs of Palestine used to col- lect it for themselves until Emperor Theodosius II. Peremp- torily decided it must be paid into the imperial treasury, in the year 429. This tribute was afterwards claimed by the German em- perors, who assumed also the title and privileges of Roman 1 Ib. V. 13. 22 kings.
